Seventh Generation Baby Wipe Giveaway!

My sweet Paul will be three in just over a month. I cannot believe that I will have a three year old. Everyone is telling me that three is hard. Like really hard. Is this true?

Before you ask, no he is not potty trained. Should he be? Probably. I told myself I wasn't going to worry about it until after Charlie was born. Now Charlie is almost three months old, and I still don't want to worry about it.

Anyway, wipes are a very popular product in my house as we have two in diapers. And I have two boys. In addition to dirt diapers, they have a lot of boogers. I hate the word boogers. I hate that I am writing about them right now. But you know who likes boogers? Boys. Especially two year old boys. They come up at the dinner table almost every night. But I digress.

We use a plethora of wipes everyday for booties, noses, hands, faces, and lord knows what else. Recently I tried out a new brand of wipes from Seventh Generation. I was intrigued because these wipes are free from fragrances, dyes, parabens, pthlates, and alcohol. When I look at my babes, especially brand new Charlie, I can't imagine putting all that "stuff" on his innocent body. Seventh Generation allows me to clean up the dirty work without the worry.

The plastic package comes with a close able lid which is great because you can easily throw them in your purse or diaper bag or car. The wipes are thin with the perfect amount of moisture. Have you ever tried to wipe crusted macaroni and cheese off a toddler's face with a dry wipe? Will not happen and will most likely end in tears. From both of you.

The suggested retail price for 64 ct. of these wipes is $2.99 and they are available at Target, Whole Foods, Diapers.com, and Amazon.The good news:

Seventh Generation is providing a box of Free and Clear Baby Wipes to one First Baby Bump Reader!

Disclosure: I received a stipend and complimentary wipes from Seventh Generation for this review. However, all opinions are my own!

Since the cold and flu are at their worst, I highly recommend getting a Nose Frida for a baby or toddler in case their sinuses get clogged up. The Nose Frida is much better than the nasal bulb syringes.

baby care tip: have everything set up and ready for night time bottles. have the water poured in the bottle and the formula pre-measured in another cup. then just dump it in, shake, feed the baby. saves a lot of time and frustration in the middle of the night.

if your baby likes warmer than room temp bottles, pour pre-measured water in a good coffee thermos to keep warm until that 2am/3am/4am/etc feeding.
